Know NCT
NewBeginnings is a developmental organization working primarily and directly among the most marginalized communities that are isolated, remote, and live in extreme poverty. The organization works towards the holistic development of target communities, with a special focus on children and women, involving various local stakeholders as partners in development. Establishing NewBeginnings is a conscious felt need of the founders committed to the welfare and protection of the rights of women and children from marginalized and vulnerable communities. The Organization works on two major sets of objectives; 1. Eradication of poverty, and 2. Ending the epidemic of violence against women and girls (VAWG)
NCT implements a range of various activities towards the eradication of poverty– education for children, sponsorship support for orphan/semi-orphan children, functional literacy for illiterate women, employable skills training, and formation of Self-Help Groups (micro-credit groups).
Towards countering VAWG, NCT works on a range of activities as part of its counter VAWG measures – campaigns, seminars, advocacy, and sensitization of various stakeholders, and victims’ support systems.
In many villages, we are the only non-profit building up the cornerstones of education, women empowerment, financial stability, and health – and the only non-profit bringing people together from all walks of life to be a part of local solutions.
It has been NCT’s policy approach that at least 60% of organizational staff and program beneficiaries should be women.
With a comprehensive approach and partnerships, it is possible to eradicate poverty and end the generational epidemic of violence against women and girls.
We need you and your support!

Common Factors among the target villages: They are illiterate, unskilled and live in chronic drought-hit regions. They spend most of their time searching for work. Even if they find a “daily wage labour,” the income is meagre even though labour hours are between eight to ten hours a day. Cyclic poverty that has been passed on from one generation to the next has ended up resulting in children becoming victims of poverty- victims of child marriages, child labourers, and school dropouts. Children as child labourers work along with their parents in the field, shops, brick kilns, construction sites, etc., working between nine hours in the summer and seven hours in the winter.
